KGF Chapter 2 was to complete filming this year and hit the screens on October 23. The coronavirus-imposed lockdown has caused a delay and postponed the movie’s release to next year. The movie will release in Kannada with a dubbed version in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Malayalam.
The previous installment, KGF, went on to become a film with the highest opening in the history of the Kannada film industry. With a total gross of over Rs. 250 crores in 50 days, it found itself in the eighth place among the highest grossers in South Indian cinema. The movie even went on to win two National Awards – one for special effects and one for stunt choreography.
